A BIULLIANX SPEECH
alio Words Used by MoClanahan to
8how Why Hawiilluns Should
Voto tho Democratic Ticket
Mr Chairman and felloW citizenr
IJceame there may ho somntof thp
older generation of tho Hawaiians
heio who will bo uunbto lo under
Rtand my talk I have asked Mr
Wise to interpret for mo what I
have to Hay
Political parties are a good dnil
like men for by heir works ye
shall know them You dont have
to labol with n name a iiinn iif order
to know him I am going to ven
ture tho assertion that when I stno
to you what has been said lo bo tho
principles of the two great political
parties of the Stages you will know
those parties without my uamiug
them
A great and gobd man bar said
that one political party of tho
United Stated is the parly of tho
dollar and that tho other groat po
litical party oT the United States is
tho party of the man and I will
wager that ivory man in this room
knows tho name of tho political
party to which each of these terms
apply Applause When wo say
that thi Republican party of the
United States ja tho party of the
dolla and tho Democratic party of
the United States is the party of the
man wo express to yon tho true
sentiment aud trend of there re
spective parties since their founda
tion Aud in this great issue now
before tho American people tho Re
publican party insists upon discuss
ing tho dollar question and de
clines to discuss the question of
human rights
Since tho foundilion of tho Re
public tho fundamental principle
of that republic that upon which
the Constitution itself found its
firmest resting placewas the prin
ciple that all nnn aro created freo
and equal and that governments
derived their just powers from the
consent of the governed
At the iuception of tho move
ment which lotl to the formation of
the Republican party in tho ypar
1S53 thore had grown up iu tho
United States a foutiment opposfd
to tho slavery question in the
South became its continuance in
volved among other things a viola
tion of one of the fundamental
principles of the Constitution and
in those days the Republicans took
the stand doolaring for the equality
of mau doclaring that all govern
ments derived thoir just powers
from tho coiifoot of tho governed
aud in maiutonancn of t heir cherish
ed principles they poured cut their
life blood on the battle field and
not until 18 months ago was the
quoation of the equality of tho man
and the right of tho governed to
govern theuisolveatcver again queo
tionod in the Utiilod States Trior
to tho breaking out of the Spanish
war the Republican party and the
Democratic party joining hands de
clared that it was a war of human
ity and not of conquost Aud
they made a solemn pledge to the
world that when that war was fin
ished tho island of Cuba then fight
ing for its indc peuclenco shjuld
have what it wanted They might
have gone farther and havo said
If this war extends so far a3 to put
in our possession the Philippine
Islands wo pledge to the world that
wo shall give the struggling Fili
pinos too their independence and
liberty But tho Republican party
is now saying We didnt promise
to givo the Philippine Island thoir
independence it was only Cuba arid
Ihorofore wo aro under no biuding
obligation to the Philippino Isl
ands Fellow citlzenp it should
briug tho blush of shamo to every
mans olieok when ho thiuks of tho
treatment of tho Philippino Island
ers by tho Republican party of the
United Stales and the administra
tion of President MoKinley Ap
plause And tho heart of evory
Hawaiian hero rhould go out in
ftympathy for those itruggling eo
jilo there for you feel and know
that you have suffered as these men
downthoro aro sulTering and 1 fray
that thero should not be on these
Islands one vote cast by tho Hawai
ian tho free Hawaiianfor that
policy of the Republican party that
is to day phaokllug the liberties of
the Filipinos Applauso
As an Amorican proud of my
country the only apology which I
havo to effor to tho world for tho
treatment by the Admitilctratiou nt
Washington of the FiliplnoB is this
that the question as to tho right tit
the American people or an Amori
can President to send soldiors down
there and take from the Filipinos
their liberties lias never been eub
milled to the American people
Ihouisslvos Applause No Am
erican Congress has ever pisoud up
on tho question and I believe that
when the votos are counted on the
Gib day of November tho American
people will havo expronsed thoir dis
approval of tho policy of Prcsidont
ItfoKiulwy Applause
Do you Amorican citixans know
that tho Philippine Islanders wore
fighting for thoir liberties just s
Cuba was when tlie Spanish war I
broke out aud fighting the same
power of Spain Do you
know that Mr McKiuley
know whon ho accepted of the ser
vices of Aguiiiahio and his army in
fighting the Spanish forces iu tho
Philippine0 that Aguinaldo was
fighting Spain for the liberties of
his own people Appauee
Do you fellow citzene know that
a tho request of Aguinaldo Admi
ral Dewey on the 17tlrday of July
1898 sent to President McKiuley
a copy of tho provisional Conslitu
tiou of tho Philippine Republic
And do you know that at tho same
time Dewey at the requestor Agui
naldo tout to President McKiuley
a copy of a proclamation which
Aguinaldo had published declaring
that the Philippino Republic was a
free and independent nation Ap
plause
Do ycu know that with that
knowledge President McKinley al
lowed Amorican troops to fight side
by side with the Philippino allies
against tho Spanish forces Was it
1 appoal lo vou honest or honor
able then if Mr McKinloy expect
h Q
k

pine Ialai d to have accepted the
services of Aguinaldo aud his men
when ho know that they wanted to
bo froo and independent Api
pait3e
Tf I accept of tho sonices of a
mau knowing that that man ex
pectfl to be paid for it can I in jus
tice decline to pay that man after
the work is dotio simply because I
did uot promise to pay him I say
thaUgood morals honesty and good
faith call6d upon President McKin
ley to acknowledge tho indoppnd
otice of tho Piillipiul Republic
after ho knew that they wore fight
ing for thf ir liberties and with that
knowlodgo accepted of their ser
vices When yju hear this history
which I -just touch upon do you
wonder that the Republican patty
refines to dscuss tho rights of
human kind and wants to discuts
tho question of tho dollar
Laughtoraud Applause
Npwl appeal to you follow citi
zens whether or no this is a limn or

should assert itcelf above party
Are ynu Rt publicaus so hide bound

youcaunot seo the wrong whioh a

I heard an Independent ppeakir
tbo other night saying that the
political parlies iu these island the
Republican party on tho ono sido
aud the Democratitj party on the
other side were not the samo parties
asthosoin theStatesand that the is
